MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) — The NYPD is responding to reports of an explosion of unknown origin at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan.
The A, C and E lines are being evacuated at this time.
What police sources describe as a possible pipe bomb detonated in a passageway below ground at the Port Authority.
One person is in custody. Only a few injuries have been reported.
It happened in an MTA passageway at the terminal at 42nd Street and 8th Avenue.
Streets are being closed in the vicinity of the terminal.
I wonder what the original post was that started the shower thing?
Hint......Don't let fido walk NY City sidewalks. Quite a few doggies get killed from stepping on metal manhole covers each year.
I was just in that station the weekend before last.
I really don’t like New York, and I detest using the subway system, but...what are you gonna do, take a darned cab?
Prayers up
Can’t assume the episode is OVER yet.... sometimes terrorists use one incident to create distraction for more attacks....
I remember it back in 2000. I think it was during the Gore recount fiasco in Palm Beach County.
ABC, MSNBC, CNN, CBS must be in complete meltdown trying to figure out how not to get caught trying to blame a white christian Trump supporters...
FBI handing out pipe bomb kits to keep us safe now?
